Bahbahra And Paua
This is another shot in my series at home or playing around at home during the pandemic series, and Bahbahra felt like making an appearance in a photo but please don't tell her that she wasn't the main focus of the whole post or she may get her little nose out of joint.
Her she is posing for a photo with a bit of bokek in the background created by what is called here an Abaone shell, I must say I am quite happy with this shot, Bahbahra loves it as well and would make it her profile photo for social media sites, but she doesn't have any LOL

Now for a few shots of the Shell used in the background of the first shot

Now I am calling this shell an Abalone, which what I think they are called here, but this is actually a Paua Shell from New Zealand, and I decided to google and see if they were the same thing and this is what I found
Pāua and abalone are both common names for species of Haliotis. Abalone is a more generalized American name for all Haliotis species. Pāua is the common name for the New Zealand species Haliotis iris.
Haliotis iris, or pāua, is a species of abalone exclusively found in New Zealand. They are prized for their bright turquoise shells with an iridescent rainbow sheen. The white outer layer of the pāua shell is sanded off, and the turquoise is polished to make stunning jewelry unique to New Zealand.
The indigenous Māori people traditionally eat pāua; the jet-black flesh has a unique shellfish flavor and rubbery texture that make them a popular export for Asian markets in the New Zealand aquaculture industry.

I do love the colors of this shell, I think at the time we bought this I also bought a couple of pieces of Jewelry for my wife, I must check if she still has them that may be another indoor photo shoot I could do some time

That is a beautiful shell! I don't think I have ever seen one that is as iridescent as that one. The colors are fantastic! Nice shots!
Thanks have been looking around the house for ideas of things to get shots of :)
Wow, this shell shimmers in beautiful colors, but you know that Bahbahra's beauty would even make a gray stone sparkle like a diamond ... oops, I hope she doesn't read this 😉
Have a great day my friend and take care.

I do love the colors and shine of it for sure, but Bahbahra loves your comment so much and insists that I send you a !BEER
I didn't think you'd show my comment to her. Now it's your fault if she orders a Limo ;)
Please tell her my thanks for the !BEER 🙂
Yes true the burden rests on my shoulders but luckily I have broad shoulders :)
good morning or good midday my friend
Cheers and !BEER
Good afternoon JJ 😉
haha, yes, you might need broad shoulders with such a Diva in your bag 😉
I'm having a busy day, but inbetween there's always some time which I can use for commenting or finding some photos for tonight. I haven't made any posts for 3 days I think - now it's time for one ;)
Cheers and !BEER
I just saw your posts and it is awesome, as I said in a comment I keep forgetting about it, maybe next week I will join in
Cheers !BEER and !tip
When Barbara came out with the letter A I thought I want to join, and today is the last day of the letter B - so, who is the one who keeps forgetting? 😉 lol
Thanks for the !tip

If you retrieve your wife's jewelry for a photoshoot, you know Bahbahra will be in heaven, playing dress-up with it! 😁 Great info on the abalone -vs- paua shells, and I love that closeup shot showing the iridescence! Kudos!
Thanks and ohh yes for sure if I delve into my wife Jewelry Bahbahra will for sure want to come out and play
Man that mother of pearl surface of shells is just about the most beautiful color display in all of nature. Love the fact that there are countless variations on the rainbow in nature, with some being pale and white, and others being bold... Recently discovered that the gray dove feathers hold rainbows in them and even the black raven feathers hold rainbows in them.
Isnt it just so nice and nature so amazing I did not know that about the bed feathers that is so cool
Bahbahra is so cute, I have my beloved one too ;)
Cool and Bahbahra thanks you :)
Your getting pretty good at this boredom some times the best out in you 👍
Thanks yeah its cool to be doing shots at home and trying something different ;)
Yep we all are needing some thing different to come up with and you have nailed it 👍
thanks again and I hope your day is going well :)
fantastic work as usual ! kudos
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
